IC/Module: GP2Y0A60SZ0F Distance Measuring Sensor Unit
Incorporating an integrated combination of PSD (positive sensitive detector), IR-LED (infrared emitting diode) and signal processing circuit, the GP2Y0A60SZ0F is a distance measuring sensor unit that outputs the voltage corresponding to the detection distance. This sensor unit is ideal for being used as a proximity sensor.
Functioning of IR Distance Click Board™
Unhindered by the reflectivity of the object that the user tries to measure owing to the use of triangulation method adopted, the IR Distance Click Board™ . in addition than robotics applications can be employed for creating touch-less switches (for a more complex touch-less interface see the Gesture board), and all sorts of energy-saving devices. The IR Distance Click Board™ sensor serves as a far sighted sensor with a measuring range from 10 to 100 cm, wherein it communicates distance to the target MCU through the mikroBUS AN pin, a voltage corresponding to the distance of the object, making it an efficient sensor.
